It's so amazing how you did the the colors of the face and how realistic the face looks! I loved how made his hair and made the background colors with it made look more alive. The background made the drawing even better than the reference!

absolutely love the hair and skin. i saw the step by step before and it's beautiful how you work and combine the different media! very insightful, i sort of have an idea how to use pastels now... haha. great work!
